My Coast

My Coast, My Community Video Competition

Update: This video competition has been extended to October 15th. If you have yet to submit a video, there is still time!

Do you have a hero in your community that you want to acknowledge who’s been important to you and your coastal neighbors? Is there someone who’s making a difference in your community? We want to hear your story.

If you are in grades 9-12 in the 2018-19 school year, we want to hear about the inspiring people you know in your community who make it a better place to live and work. This community hero could be your PE teacher, a fisherman, a retiree who picks up beach trash, or your friend who rides his/her bike to school in order to reduce their carbon footprint.

Make an engaging maximum two minute video about someone in your community who makes a difference and you could win up to $750 in prizes!

The group with the winning video in each county will be awarded $250 in gift cards to Amazon and other stores
